JUNE WEDNESDAY, 2 1886

Drew a couple more loads of stone from B{illegible} this forenoon, also this afternoon when Billy has been helping. A shower of rain fell about four o'clock which prevented us from geting the ballance remaining of the two and a quarter home. Had quite a time geting on two last loads on account of the slippery roads The Lord Lord is my Shepherd.
